Proper treatment of this blade.
I would like to clean this blade up a little and it will need new scales. Hopefully I could get some suggestions on removing tarnish and possibly some of scratches without obliterating the blade engraving.
My first inclination was to sand (with 1500 - 2000 grit) and buff the tang and spine and leave the side of the blade alone, but this might end up looking stupid. I don't have the blade yet as it is being sent. If there is no rust I may just leave it completely alone and just rescale it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
